Nettes, sauberes Hotel in Osaka mit japanischem veganen Frühstück!
Pros:

Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Futonbetten waren bequem. Das japanische vegane (vegan Essen ist sehr schwierig in Japan!) Frühstück war sehr gut. Es ist Alles sehr sauber.

Cons:

Die „Duschkabine“ (eine Fertigkonstruktion) war sehr eng. Da wir eines der ersten Zimmer am Fahrstuhl hatten, haben wir viel Straßenlärm mitbekommen. Besser eines der hinteren Zimmer anfragen, wenn man geräuschempfindlich ist.

Die vielen guten Bewertungen sind nicht nachvollziehbar
Cons:

Die Kategorie ist eher Budget-Hotel. Bad/Toilette ist ein Kunststoffelement aus einem Gruß. Eher wie auf einem Campingplatz. Das Zimmer winzig, eher 14 qm als die gebuchten 18 qm. Das Frühstück und die Atmosphäre im Frühstücksraum eher lieblos und bedrückend.

Woher die vielen guten Bewertungen kommen ist uns ein Rätsel. Womöglich haben wir eine teure Zeit erwischt und die Bewertungen kommen von Budget-Reisenden, was wir nicht sind. Oder von anspruchslosen Pilgern auf dem Weg zum Koyasan. Für ein Budget-Hotel oder eine Pilgerunterkunft sind die Leistungen möglicherweise gut.

Wir sind vorzeitig abgereist und haben statt eines Tagesausflugs von Osaka nach Nara ein Hotel in Nara gebucht (18 qm) was in jeglicher Hinsicht eine gute Entscheidung war.

Von den vielen Hotels, die wir in Japan besucht und erlebt haben ist dies das einzige, das wir nicht wieder buchen würden. (Ich bin kein Freund schlechter Bewertungen. Diese schreibe ich, weil mich die vielen herausragenden Bewertungen in die Irre geführt haben.)

Anbei ein Foto, wie das Hotel von außen wirklich aussieht. Direkt an einer großen Straße, die werktags viel befahren ist. Zu Fuß mit dem Gepäck unangenehm weit zur nächsten Metro.

Cool little place in Osaka
Pros:

Lovely little hotel, quite a bit away from Dotonbori and the hustle and bustle but well connected: 2 train station within 10 mins walking. Lovely park and zoo nearby, Shinsekai for a dinner and a little shopping. Hotel is light, staff are friendly and efficient l, rooms are spacious, tatami mats, seating on the floor, full sized bath. What's not to like. We didn't get to do the meditations or meet the monks, that's a shame. Next time!

Cons:

Nothing really, later check out would have been lovely 😁

Zen in het hartje van Osaka

Lovely, peaceful hotel
Pros:

Lovely Little hotel. Very clean, peaceful and quiet. The hotel offers activities such as Yoga and Meditation. The room was lovely and spacious. My room was on the main road, but it was still very quiet. The bed was super confortable! The slippers that are given to the guests are beatiful. Location was great! The staff was very friendly, helpful and polite. I will definitely stay here again if I ever come back to Osaka. Great value for money! I highly recommend this hotel!

Cons:

Nothing.
